Hyperloop competition brings out student innovators

From Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx:

A few years ago, in one of my first posts here in the Fast Lane, I wrote that, to make American transportation safer and stronger, "we need every tool in the box and a few we haven't even thought of yet."

Well, last Friday, I saw powerful affirmation of that at Texas A&M University, the site of the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Design Competition.

At this event, more than a thousand high school and college engineers from all over the world presented their designs for the best Hyperloop pod, and I think that level of turnout and excitement from student innovators is the biggest story emerging from the competition.
